What you miss and what you don’t…

There are always things from my past that I miss, the flip side of the coin is the things I don’t miss. Things I miss: I miss my grandparents…I miss waking up in the morning and being surrounded by complete unconditional love. I miss the big family gatherings I took for granted as a kid. […]

How do you forgive?

After working 50+ hours last week, you would’ve thought that on Friday night I would collapse into bed that night and sleep soundly, but I didn’t sleep well and I think it was because I had this post rolling around in my head. A few weeks ago my husband got a call from his brother […]

Thoughts for a quiet Sunday

As a little girl there was no one more important to me than my grandparents. I loved them both so much. I spent a lot of time with them especially after my little brother was diagnosed with cancer and then after my parents got divorced my brother and I spent time not only during the […]

Loves of my life

I’m 26 days away from cuddling this little Nugget again and hugging my son and his fiancee’. And it’s 28 days until she is his wife. It’s an exciting and yet stressful time because I’m not there to help. I’m not there to babysit while she goes and does wedding stuff. I’m not there to […]

Around the corner

NOTE: I started this post in late August. How fast the last 5 months have gone.♥ It was a long and busy summer. I didn’t get a chance to post much as I was wrapped up in work and the long, warm days like everyone else. But as the days become shorter every day, the […]

At times I think some of the best things in my life are the simple and easy things. At other times I feel jealous of what someone else has or what car they drive. I’ve been trying to be appreciative of the simple things in my life lately. Things like the fact that I live […]

4 am…

I’m not one to talk much on the phone, never have been. I do like to video chat with my son and his girlfriend and that was one of the main reasons we bought them a Portal and we got one too. I love being able to just click on their names and see their […]

Almost August!!!!

I can not believe where the summer has gone. My bosses just left on their annual trek back to Wisconsin and it seems like it’s too early in the summer for that to happen. I haven’t taken any real vacation from work this year because I have been saving my time off to be in […]

Time…

It’s been a busy summer so far both personally and work wise and we haven’t even gotten to the really warm days so I’m a little nervous. I got a promotion and a new person to train and it always amazes me how much time and energy that takes. I spend so much of the […]

Mother’s Day gift

I have done absolutely nothing today and loved it. My husband got me a coffee and made me bacon to go with the pastries we got at the Farmers Market and I sat and read the whole morning away. I got a chance to talk to my Dad, my big Sissy and my son. I […]
